A Treasure Found :)

The other day my Mom gave me a bag of embroidery floss

and another little bag filled with cardboard quilt templates

of all shapes and sizes.

My Mom lives in a Senior apartment complex

and she has some truly amazing neighbors!

One woman is 90 years old

and doesn't look

a day over 65

and she goes dancing every week

at the Senior Center!

How cool is that?????

These bags of goodies were given to her by Irene.

She is one of my Mom's friends that had lost her eyesight

 to the point that she could no longer quilt or embroider.

In the bottom of the bag of quilting templates

I found this little hand quilted "treasure".

Probably one of the last works of art

this sweet lady worked on.

I just couldn't leave it sitting in a bag somewhere.

So I decided to make it into a

mug rug for her to use and enjoy :)

I used clear mono filament thread

to stitch along the hand stitched lines.

At the time I didn't know

that this dear lady had lost her sight.

My Mom was so happy to see it like this and said

that Irene will be able to "feel" the pattern :)

And she said that Irene has 2 daughters who will love

to have this piece of their Mom's artwork one day as well.

I love it when God brings a plan together like that!
